Aesop's Tables

A brand new restaurant opened up this morning in Room 503, with a menu offering sandwich fare.

Sandwich fare.

Yes, you got that right...

I mean, you got that write...or, what I really should say is: the Sixth Graders got that write.

The restaurant, the menu and the sandwich fare were really just a mixture of word play, metaphors and similes to help the students better understand the structure of writing stories, essays and research papers.

The students had the opportunity to create parts of a sandwich out of construction paper, adapt one of Aesop's fables, and then clearly connect which parts of their newly-created story went with which "sandwich fixing" (i.e. the top piece of bread represented the introduction, the tomato represented "juicy" descriptions).

Those who didn't finish making their sandwich in class will be completing it at home tonight for homework.

Bon appetit!
